- IV. Development Risk Power BI Report - Update! Summary and recent updates
- IV. Q and A Question and answer session
Recap (1 of 3): Qualification and Specialization
- Asset Manager: Qualified in development oversight during construction with mixed portfolios (stabilized and non-stabilized projects). Member of Regional asset team and liaison with CRM.
- Development Asset Manager: Specialized in all aspects of development AM, overseeing primarily non-stabilized projects (greater than 50% of portfolio). Member of Regional asset team with strong CRM liaison.
- Example (AM): Monitors a small number of projects potentially already in AM's portfolio under construction.
- Example (DevAM): Portfolio may be mixed (1/3 under construction, 1/3 past PIS but non-stabilized, and 1/3 stabilized)
- Program Goal (2023-25): 50-75% of projects under construction will have Qualified AM or DevAM.
- Specific guidelines for roles and responsibilities of these managers are in place.
Recap (2 of 3): Standard Monitoring Documents
- Periodic Construction Payment Draw Packages
- Contractor's Sworn Statement and Trade Payment breakdown
- Payment Certificate ("G702")
- Change Orders
- Meeting Minutes
- Schedule Updates
- Owner's Sworn Statement/Sources and Uses
- Third-party Construction Monitor's Report
- Coordination with CRM
- Standardized documentation is crucial to track progress throughout the development cycle.
Recap (3 of 3) - NEF AMD Development Risk Ratings
- Current Process: Construction Risk Management risk rates monthly, asset manager risk rates quarterly
- Relying on CRM for updates and ratings.
- Under New Program: Monthly and quarterly ratings covering a portion of projects under construction, with guidance from CRM.
- Projects under construction will be rated by both, and involvement varies.
- A consistent rating system for project phases under development is in place.
Pre-Investment Closing CRM Due Diligence and Coordination
- CRM performs due diligence and mitigates risk prior to investment.
- Initial mission role limited to pre-investment monitoring.
- CRM IRC/Closing Risk Reviews and Recommendations
- (Available during IRC and Closing, uploaded to SMT)
- CRM engages third-party construction monitor.
- CRM determines need based on review (Engages or approves)
- Defined processes for CRM review and coordination before project funding decisions are made.
AHIC Development Risk Rating – Construction Risk
- The overall pre-construction project risk is rated as 3 (C - Moderate)
- Environmental: Low hazardous material levels in existing soil.
- Similar findings to neighboring projects.
- Soil/Site: insufficient bearing capacity for shallow foundations, caissons are being used as acceptable support.
- Addressing soil stability issues is crucial for the project's success.
- Architect & Contractor: Neither NEF nor sponsor has worked with these parties previously.
- Assessing risks associated with unfamiliar parties is a priority.
- Construction Budget: Price escalation for resources like wood and appliances; contingency is only 3% (compared to 5% standard).
- Table 1.0 provides further details and calculations for each risk area.
- A detailed table outlines each risk's severity and probability.
Pre-Investment Coordination CRM Due Diligence & Closing Coordination - The Post-Closing
- PM: Issues from UW closing process
- CRM: Construction Risk and Monitoring Program
- AM: Market, Sponsor, Property Manager, Equity
- ORG: Sponsor, Sensitivity
- Investment Relations: Especially for SIF
- Post-closing coordination is critical for smooth handover between project managers and asset management teams.
AHIC Development Risk Rating - Nuances of Lease Ups and Conversions
- Process: For quick reference in the SMT system, the lease-up schedule screen pulls projected leasing data from the closing spreadsheet.
- Monthly, lease-up tabs should reflect actual progress and be in line with projections.
- Specific processes to monitor construction and leasing are followed.
AHIC Development Risk Rating - Nuances of Post Construction
- Leasing: Project's leasing performance tracked against projections
- Issue detection/corrective action is vital.
- Compliance: Ensuring qualified tenants and meeting minimum set-asides and required credits within the set time frame.
- Construction Loan Maturity Date: Determining if project completion meets loan benchmarks to avoid default.
- Monitoring the loan terms for compliance is vital.
- Perm Loan Rate Lock Expiration: Ensuring a favorable rate lock and appropriate financial support for the new rate.
- Critical aspects of managing the project after completion of construction.
AHIC Development Risk Ratings – Nuances - Stabilization and Conversion
- Stabilization: Ensuring project's ability to meet projected expenses and occupancy benchmarks that will impact conversion, equity or right-sizing.
- Project's ability to financially support and maintain occupancy needs to be evaluated.
- Conversion: Evaluating the time frame for conversion to ensure completion or lease-up is in line with the maturity date of the construction loan.
- Consideration of the ability to financially support/meet construction loan terms.
- Financial: Issues including cost overrun and gap related to interest rate increases or leasing delays will affect the General Partner (GP) fee.
- Detailed processes and metrics are regularly observed.
AHIC Development Risk Ratings – Nuances – PIS & Compliance
- The AHIC system has limited options to accurately detect compliance issues post construction.
- Attention must be paid to delays, leasing issues, and securing credits.
- Accurately evaluating risk and documenting these items is essential. Specific documentation and review process exist.
AHIC Development Risk Ratings – Nuances – Construction Loan Maturity Dates
- Consistent monitoring of construction loan maturity dates is required.
- Key documents to follow include the note and loan agreement.
- Any extensions of dates must be noted, including outside dates like conversion dates.
- Detailed tracking and documentation of loan terms within the project.
AHIC Development Risk Ratings – Nuances – Permanent Loan Rate Lock
- Rate lock risk is currently a primary concern as rates rise.
- Understanding potential increases in interest rates that may delay the development's timeline and need to make adjustments to the loan amount in order to maintain profitability.
- Tracking the loan commitment and adding notes in the SMT is required for monitoring and potential risks.
- Project delays need specific updates on the rate lock and associated impacts (loan adjustment, re-sizing necessary etc).
AHIC Development Risk Ratings – Post Construction - Stabilization and Conversion
- Determining the timing to reach stabilization; ensuring the timeline is within the allocated time frame, per the loan documents.
- Assessing material variances in actual rent/expenses that may affect the stabilization or conversion.
- Following the anticipated timeline for conversion dates and if any extensions were granted or are available.
- Critical indicators tracked actively.
AHIC Development Risk Ratings – Primary Development Risk Categories-Financial
- Financial sub-rating is mostly focused on construction cost overruns.
- Key sources and uses need to be considered for financial viability:
- Construction cost overruns and contingencies.
- Construction loan and payment sources.
- Remaining developer fees with project updates (projections that are right-sized)
- Evaluating source/use imbalances and documenting the information within written reports is important.
- The interim adjuster amount should be included to address investor inquiries.
- Specific procedures and tracking methods exist for financial aspects.
SMT Development Power BI Report
- A visual reporting tool for assessing development risk, tracking projects, identifying delays, and supporting financial analysis.
- The report provides data aggregation across different project phases.
